Abstract

The Samaria National Park in Chania, Crete, Greece was established in 1962 and has since been one of the most well-known protected areas of Greece. It attracts thousands of visitors every year and creates a social and economic environment for various local businesses such as hotels and restaurants. Most of those businesses operate seasonally for the same time period as the park and owe a high percentage of their turnover to the park's visitors. Tourists spend a large share of their budget for various goods and services during their visit which has a considerable impact on the economy of the whole region of Chania. However, because of the fact that the Samaria National Park is a natural asset, its value as a touristic multi-attraction is often overlooked or taken for granted. This research attempts to explore the preferences of tourists who have visited the island of Crete and the Samaria National Park, and the overall impact of that activity on the local economy. The approach involves collecting questionnaires during the period that the park operates, from May to October, in order to derive primary data about the preferences, attitudes, socio-demographic profiles and satisfaction criteria of tourists towards the park.
访客多维决策方法
位于希腊克里特岛哈尼亚的撒玛利亚国家公园成立于1962年,一直是希腊最著名的保护区之一。它每年吸引成千上万的游客,并为酒店和餐馆等各种当地企业创造了社会和经济环境。这些企业中的大多数都是季节性经营,与公园同期营业,其营业额的很大一部分来自公园的游客。游客在访问期间花费大量预算用于各种商品和服务,这对整个哈尼亚地区的经济产生了相当大的影响。然而,由于撒玛利亚国家公园是一项自然资产,它作为一个旅游景点的价值经常被忽视或被认为是理所当然的。本研究试图探讨参观克里特岛和撒玛利亚国家公园的游客的偏好,以及这些活动对当地经济的总体影响。该方法包括在公园运营期间(5月至10月)收集调查问卷,以获得有关游客对公园的偏好、态度、社会人口概况和满意度标准的主要数据。
